need help having player change values

RocketBrain

i'm trying to figure out how to make it so when i hit 1, 2, 5, 8 on the keypad

whatever value is set to 1258

i had a couple people put some interesting methods and i've been playing with them a little but is there an easy way to string them together?

I don't think there is an easy way ... I believe you may be aware of this solution which is the way I would also suggest it be done.

But I think it is more complicated than that if you are to allow only two, three or more keys to be pressed .. in which case you would need to counter the keystrokes in order to determine if the value needed to be multiplied by 10,000, 1000, 100, 10 etc
